Your First and Subsequent Visits to our Office

From the initial consultation to each follow-up appointment, there is an evaluation as to the progress of each patient, so if changes need to be made, they can be initiated right away.

Your Consultation

The initial consultation ranges from 1.5 hours for children 12 and under to 2 hours for adults. If the patient needs an interpreter, more time may be required as this may require an additional appointment and therefore added costs. It is very important to be on time for the information to be obtained requires the full length of time.

During your consultation, Dr. Hardy will ask you pertinent questions to obtain detailed information about how your disease(s) are expressed through your symptom picture (symptoms reveal themselves as your body attempts to repair and heal itself. This is a unique process for each individual — two people with the same illness may exhibit symptoms that are completely different).

The onset and development of each condition is also important from a time-line perspective: when your health problems began and what was happening in your life before and during the onset of illness. Discovering the factors that influenced your illness or made you susceptible to developing the disease initially is important for creating the conditions to restore health and for reversing the disease process.

During the consultation, Dr. Gary Hardy will conduct an examination and when needed, blood and /or urine tests may be performed. If you have copies of any medical reports or blood work, please bring these with you, along with any medications you are currently taking.

At least 24 hours notice is required to reschedule or cancel regular appointments, but for the initial appointments we require 2 business days notice to avoid charges for missed appointments. Thank you.
